Townhall: Let's Be Honest, There was Nothing Conservative About the Confederacy

[Jake Stern]

I don't normally post articles from RW rags on here but this one really stood out.

But slavery and the short-lived Confederate States of America aren’t sources of pride, nor do they need to be honored. It’s time to throw the Confederate flag on the ash heap of history—not because the flag is “politically incorrect,” but the battle flag of a country that no longer exists, representing people who so disliked the United States that they seceded and attempted to start something better. It’s hard to wave a Confederate flag and call yourself an American patriot.
